Brazilian Ambassador to Guyana, Maria Clara Duclos Carisio has positioned that her country sees Guyana as an important player in the achievement of common goals for the region.

This was highlighted during a reception hosted on the occasion of Brazil’s Bicentennial Independence Anniversary. In attendance were President Dr Irfaan Ali and other important officials.

The diplomat voiced, “Brazil is always open for dialogue and cooperation with Latin America and the Caribbean. Especially with Guyana, Brazil is convinced that working together is the best and fastest way to achieve our common goals. Brazil and Guyana have many areas of cooperation where objectives and solutions can be shared for the mutual benefit of their people. Let me mention the important role Guyana plays in leading all the Caribbean countries to participate in the initiatives of cooperation on agriculture and food security. “

According to Ambassador Carisio, Brazil is confident that the products being developed by the two governments will result in immense benefits for Guyana and the state of the North of Brazil. These include areas of agriculture, infrastructure, energy, defence and security.

“The bilateral trade is increasing and lots of opportunities are opened for our business communities on both sides,” she added.

Meanwhile, President Dr Irfaan Ali said that the relationship between Guyana and Brazil will continue to grow given that the countries share a common future with common opportunities.

Ali expressed, “We are proud to be your neighbour. We see no difference between Brazil and Guyana…We live in peace. We live in full respect of each other. We respect the territorial integrity and borders of each other. More importantly, you support us without a doubt on the issue of our borders.”

President Ali added that the neighbouring countries are connected not only in trade, economics and foreign policy but also through culture. He noted that the “most important glue of friendship is our people, our culture, and more importantly our love for sports”. He assured that Guyana’s cooperation and collaboration will continue in the areas of defence, food security, climate security, and foreign policy.

A few months ago, Guyana and Brazil held detailed discussions on infrastructure and energy, among other areas of bilateral interest during a one-day state visit of President Jair Bolsonaro.

By June, Guyana registered two lifts of one million barrels of crude each from the Liza Phase One and the Liza Phase Two projects operated by ExxonMobil for the month of June, and Brazilian state-owned company Petrobras purchased one of these lifts.

Meanwhile, the countries also signed bilateral treaties that would see collaboration on a number of security and legal areas including the seizure and disposal or exchange of assets during criminal investigations and prosecutions.

Cómo cambiarán el dinero, banderas y sellos británicos tras la muerte de Isabel II

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV

Tras la muerte de la reina Isabel II este jueves, el dinero, pasaportes y sellos británicos serán actualizados con nuevos símbolos reales, según recoge The Guardian.

Cuando Jorge VI murió mientras dormía en Sandringham, durante la madrugada del 6 de febrero de 1952, su hija mayor, la princesa Isabel, se convirtió inmediatamente en la reina Isabel II. “El mismo proceso simultáneo se producirá a la muerte de la reina Isabel y la asunción del trono por el rey Carlos III”, ha declarado al Parlamento Robert Blackburn, profesor de derecho constitucional del King’s College de Londres.

Sin embargo, tras el largo reinado de Isabel II, cambiar su nombre, imagen e iconografía de la vida nacional en el Reino Unido y en toda la Commonwealth llevará mucho más tiempo.

Estas son algunas de las cosas que tendrán que cambiar:

Banderas

Todas las banderas que ondean en el exterior de las comisarías de Policía de todo el Reino Unido hasta el estandarte que se utiliza en un buque de la Armada, cuando hay un general a bordo, serán sustituidos. Los regimientos militares enarbolan los “colores de la reina”, muchos de los cuales llevan un EIIR (Elizabeth II Regina) bordado en oro.

Asimismo, los países en los que la reina sigue siendo jefa de Estado, como Australia, Canadá y Nueva Zelanda, tienen lo que los expertos en banderas llaman “banderas E”, que son banderas personales para la reina, que se utilizan cuando está de visita.

Billetes y monedas

Actualmente, en el Reino Unido hay 4.500 millones de billetes de libras esterlinas en circulación con la cara de la reina, por un valor total de 80.000 millones de libras (92.000 millones de dólares). Sustituirlos por otros con el rostro del nuevo monarca llevará probablemente al menos dos años, según los expertos. 

La cabeza de la reina también aparece en algunos billetes de 20 dólares en Canadá, en las monedas de Nueva Zelanda y en todas las monedas y billetes emitidos por el Banco Central del Caribe Oriental, así como en otras partes de la Commonwealth.

Buzones y sellos

Es poco probable que se retiren los buzones de Royal Mail que llevan el código real de la reina Isabel. Algunos todavía conservan las siglas GR del rey Jorge VI, 70 años después. Sin embargo, el correo británico cambiará los sellos y utilizará una imagen de perfil de Carlos III.

“Parece que la culpa es huérfana”: aseguradoras se desligan de responsabilidad de casos de “stroke” en la isla

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV

La representante popular Sol Higgins Cuadrado informó que en una vista pública del P. de la C. 1424 celebrada ayer, que persigue que en los hospitales haya un protocolo de servicio uniforme para atender casos de accidentes cerebrovasculares o stroke en la isla, no hay quien quiera asumir la culpa de que no hayan servicios o personal para manejar dichos incidentes.

“Yo, en mi ámbito personal, sentí un poco de decepción porque las aseguradoras, todas, coincidieron en que el problema no son ellas […] Todos estamos en el mismo barco queriendo solucionar el problema de salud que hay en Puerto Rico y pareciera que la culpa es huérfana”, señaló la representante.

La legisladora describió que todas las aseguradoras del país citadas que acudieron al encuentro, indicaron que no necesariamente ostentan la culpa del manejo de dichos casos por la falta de profesionales, y la atribuyeron a eventos sociales que afectan al país, como el problema con el acceso a la educación o las condiciones de las carreteras, y a la política gubernamental como tal.

En la vista se informó que el stroke es una de las cinco causas principales de muerte en Puerto Rico, con 39 mil casos anuales y miles de pacientes que culminan siendo personas con diversidad funcional. Asimismo, Higgins Cuadrado destacó que los fallecimientos por la condición ascienden a 800 mil anualmente a nivel de Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico.

Bajo dicho cuadro, la legisladora explicó que la búsqueda de un servicio uniforme en las instituciones hospitalarias va dirigida a crear un comité multisectorial que cree una política publica que dé seguimiento a los casos. Además, resaltó la presencia de estudiantes de enfermería del Recinto de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad de Puerto Rico quienes, según la representante, presentaron la mejor ponencia para defender la aprobación del proyecto.

“Precisamente, por no tener un protocolo a base de stroke, pues, los hospitales no pueden comprar ciertos medicamentos porque no tienen un programa de stroke en su hospital, así que cuando llega un paciente, hay un medicamento que, probablemente, hay que darlo inmediatamente, pero no existe ese medicamento en el hospital porque el hospital no tiene un protocolo de stroke”.

Asimismo, destacó que con el proyecto las aseguradoras tendrán que explicar por qué hubo un mal manejo de caso en algún incidente cerebrovascular. 

“Este proyecto trae esperanza para comenzar a solucionar los problemas de salud de Puerto Rico”, finalizó Higgins Cuadrado al hacer una petición al ejecutivo para firmar la medida, y asegurar que la misma cuenta con los votos.

LETTER: The ABLP Administration LIES & Deception on Olivers Village Water Access/Housing Project

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room
ABLP HQ

Dear Editor, 

The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda announced that 12 houses have been completed in Oliver’s out of the 600 homes planned for that area. I live very nearby to the said housing project. I drove to the area where the houses are being built behind of LICS Ltd on All Saints Road yesterday afternoon. 

When I reached and walked the whole area on foot of the housing project, NONE of the houses were completed. I counted 9 houses the walls are coming up from the foundation and also, they were not plastered or painted and they were without windows. The other 3 homes to be constructed are at the foundation stated with the foundation not even casted, they seemed in the process of laying steel, putting in plumbing and laying electrical pipes. 

Furthermore, I noticed that there ALOT more cisterns covered with grass than houses in the foundation state or with the walls coming up from the foundation. I would also like to mention  that in Renfrews we cannot get Government water because this government lied to the people of Olivers at the start of the year in the first Cabinet notes telling them be prepared to experience inconvenience because they are going to be digging up the the roads to lay pipes in that area, and I have driven up to that area where Mr. Wehner did a video by that BIG BLACK TANK in Buckley’s/Olivers and other areas of the Village, and there are no pipes or any digging in that area to lay pipes to give those people a basic human right access to government water. The BIG BLACK TANK on the hill was to gravity feed that area along with Renfrews and the surrounding communities, and to this day nothing has been done.  

I say all this to say the people of this country, NEVER, EVER, BELIEVER, ANYTHING, these people in our government have to say. All they do is tell lies because they know most of the people very gullible and put election handouts before themselves. I advise the people of this country to go and do their own research and see things for themselves before believing anything these LIARS put in their Cabinet notes or announce to the people of this country. 

I am absolutely fed up of Gaston Browne and his LYING cohorts and it is time for a change in the country. 

Alfred,

Disgusted Citizen
